Democrats have hinted at their strategy to fight back against what will be Trump’s third Supreme Court nominee. In an ABC interview with George Stephanopoulos Sunday, Pelosi was pressed on whether or not Democrats would use impeachment as a tactic to delay the confirmation of a Supreme Court justice – the Speaker did not reject the idea. Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass, echoed this suggestion, and wrote that “Mitch McConnell set the precedent.”‘‘No Supreme Court vacancies filled in an election year. This would mean the current 53-47 Republican controlled Senate would lose a seat, and potentially a vote in the confirmation process. Conservative political groups have said they plan to invest up to $35 million in supporting Trump’s third Supreme Court pick.
